Victory was always for me a backstop, and a smoke screen for if/when West Newton fails to produce the goods.
West Newton may yet produce, and the reduced number of wells and associated 'gifts of myrrh' will leave the dissenting councillors out in the cold the next time around, with probable appeals from the greenies to follow.
That said, in my opinion both are still a long shot. The Victory play is under the sea with all the associated problems that has to be overcome, and West Newton may prove even more difficult to extract. Commercialisation has only a 20/80% COS at best with me as regards both assets. 2024/5 at the absolute earliest regarding any financial return on extraction for either, with West Newton the earlier if it can be sold.
In the meantime I believe the dynamic duo look for another potential transformative play, perhaps even one that may involve greener energy.
Whatever, that will mean another trip to tap up the market. But this time it may well be not so easy to raise funds.
OMO and remember time is running short for the dynamic duo as the last raise must have all but been spent.
